North Carolina Transportation Museum

Brandi and I decided to do a day trip to Spencer, NC in late April to check out the North Carolina Transportation Museum. http://www.nctrans.org/ We went together during a special event in 2007 and with the large crowds we felt that we did not really get to enjoy ourselves or take the time to really look through the museum. This trip was much different as we practically had the place to ourselves!

The museum for the most part is centered around the former Spencer Shops of the Southern Railway. There are dozens of locomotives and rail cars on display throughout the property and they even offer train rides on select days. In addition to trains they also have exhibits with cars and air planes though they seem to take the backseat to the railroad exhibits. One thing that I love about the museum is that it is free to walk around and browse the property and exhibits, in this day and age it is rare to find anything that is cheap, let alone free to do! Donations are gladly appreciated, and train rides have a very modest fee! If you are ever in the area I strongly encourage you to check it out!









Thanks for viewing!
